Cafe 86 - Union City

I really enjoyed my experience here. I recommend getting the hibiscus lemonade! 🌺

why they would name this so similarly to 86 degree bakery is beyond me

All the treats are delicious. You cannot go wrong. You have to come here.
We got ube poptart, ube crumble cookie, ube truffle, ube cheesecake, and ube butterbar.
We loved everything but the ube truffle is a favorite!
For drinks we got Pandan matcha and Dragonberry Calamansi.

Lots of ube things here. Perfect for ube lovers!

Ube and oreo is my jam! Love this spot!

Drinks are amazing, although my family doesn't get boba here. All the slushie monsters (thai, matcha, ube, etc) are delicious. Halo halo & reverse halo halo are decent, but they really fill up the cup. Order takes forever to arrive, though, so expect a wait especially during busy times.

My first time at this place today. I tried upside down Halo Halo, we loved it. Definitely going back again :-)

Love everything ube desserts! The calamansi drinks are amazingly refreshing too!

First time I experienced this cafe 5/23/25. Grade A, not just the food but customer service is elite, and the waiting is great. My nephew loves UBE. And the moment he tried the UBE brownie and the Ube milk tea, and Ube Tres Leches. He said aunty this sooo good. More of this review. Go try it for yourself and support small ACTIVE businesses. ChefKai approved. 🌺

Best place for anything Ube! The ube tres leches is the BEST!

First time coming here this past weekend and I had a 50/50 experience. All the sweets are over priced, my drink tasted like water (hibiscus calamanci) and the boba felt like slime. My lady’s drink was immaculate (strawberry calamanci ) which I’m happy for… I was super disappointed because I love their SJ location which my go to drink is their strawberry calamanci. I hope in the future it’ll be better…

Got the upside down Halo Halo and it was so delicious!
Loved the coconut jellies! So many different textures and flavors!

For a Filipino, I do not like halo halo but Cafe 86's Upside Down Halo Halo is the only halo halo I will eat. Definitely try! Other faves from here are their Thai Tea Monster Milkshake, Ube Leche Flan Cupcake, Ube Tres Leches & Ube Truffle.

Absolutely loved this place! Their latte was delicious. The churrochi ice cream was also super good. The consistency of the mochi with the flavor of the churro was perfect. I want to try everything on the menu, will be back soon.

The upside down halo halo - it’s sweet and yummy! It’s a perfect dessert to share if you don’t want all the sweets for yourself.
Flan and ube cupcake - ok

The flan was way too firm and not smooth. I love flan, so wish it was better. Besides the flan, everything else was good. I’d skip the flan and ube cupcake and go for the upside down halo halo!
